Indiana Democrat touts support of Trump in bid to keep seat

For incumbent Democratic Senator Joe Donnelly, that reflected the fact that he will need the president's supporters to win reelection in a state that overwhelmingly supported Trump two years ago. Donnelly, a first-term senator, is trying to stave off a challenge from Republican businessman Mike Braun, and in doing so, keep alive Democratic hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate after the Nov 6. Democrats need a net gain of two Senate seats to take a majority in the upper chamber, which would allow them to more effectively counter Trump's agenda.
